When a capacitor of small capacitance is connected in series with L-R circuit. The alternating current in the circuit increases. Explain why ?

Explanation

To explain why the alternating current in an LR circuit increases when a capacitor of small capacitance is connected in series, we can break down the reasoning into several steps:

### Step 1: Understanding the LR Circuit
An LR circuit consists of an inductor (L) and a resistor (R) connected in series. The total impedance (Z) of the circuit can be calculated using the formula:
\[ Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2} \]
where \( X_L \) is the inductive reactance given by:
\[ X_L = 2\pi f L \]
and \( f \) is the frequency of the alternating current.
